Trenchfront – Flashpoint is a real-time tactical strategy game for iPhone and iPad. Lead the Wolfes through a modern conflict against Atlas and reclaim the island of Meridian sector by sector. A CONNECTED CAMPAIGN Fight through twelve missions that form one continuous story. Your battlefield decisions determine whether the Wolfes secure supply lines, break fortified positions and take back Meridian. CLEAR TACTICAL COMMAND Deploy infantry, vehicles, support units and aircraft across illustrated battlefields. Units advance smoothly, take up positions in trenches and engage automatically at the front. You decide the composition, timing and focus of every attack. RECONNAISSANCE THAT MATTERS Recon units reveal concealed areas and enemy forces. Vision remains active only while at least one of your recon units survives on the battlefield. Air defence protects your troops from air attacks, while your own aircraft deliver rapid strikes. COMMANDERS AND DOCTRINES Choose a commander with a distinct specialization. Unlock additional officers through campaign progress or expand your collection with purely cosmetic portraits. Five staged doctrine levels provide long-term progression without abrupt power jumps. MORE OPERATIONS Optional campaigns such as Northline Operations, Littoral Strike and Black Sky Protocol tell independent follow-up stories. They are not required to complete the full main story. FEATURES • Twelve missions in one continuous main campaign • Wolfes against Atlas • Illustrated battlefields and visible units • Infantry, vehicles, aircraft and support • Persistent reconnaissance while recon units survive • Unlockable commanders and five doctrine levels • German and English • Playable without a user account
